I don't think there is anything you do that I don't love! It's all inspiration and I really appreciate that you post about the different ways you're trying things out. It makes me less fearful of taking a brush to something. Just to see the possibilities that you show us. Thank you, Rosemary!

Your "experiments" are gorgeous! I never thought of doing all of that with milk paint. 20 or so years ago. long before the milk paint and chalk paint craze, I came across a recipe for milk paint and did a small desk and chair for my 8 year old little girl. It turned out way beyond my expectations. She has it in her home today and it looks the same as the day I did it.

love this idea Rosemary. YOu are so smart! I liked using the milk paint at the bottom of the mix when it gets all crustified and chunky....I add water to it and then use it over my Chalk Paint® finish to make it look older and crusty and aged. xo

I must be the world's greatest dummy! I had several similar angels, all quite lovely as a matter of fact, but I hated the gold finish. So I gave them all away to Goodwill! Why didn't I think like you? Silly me!
